Not good news from Canada. Power lines are full when appropriate. Just
Powerex's power.

British Columbia Hydro has a FERC 888 Wholesale Transmission Tariff in place and the actual available transmission capacity is primarily owned by B.C. Hydro's marketing affiliate, Powerex, with some small amounts of interruptible capacity owned off and on by other market participants, including Enron. Although Enron Canada would like to export more power to the US as we can supply it from our PPA or even buy it in Alberta's Power Pool, there is rarely any available transmission capacity as what is available was fully subscribed for (mainly by Powerex) and is used. I just confirmed with our trader that none of BC Hydro's transmission export capacity has gone unused when Alberta or BC had excess generation available for export and the economics of selling from Alberta or BC into Mid-C were favorable. Regards, Rob James D Steffes@ENRON 04/12/2001 05:18 PM To: Robert Hemstock/CAL/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: PROOF OF ALBERTA POWER NOT FLOWING TO CALIFORNIA Rob - Is there any information that would highlight that Alberta had excess generation that couldn't get into the California market this year or later? I need this ASAP. Jim
